We’re happy to premiere “Retrieve,” the opening track from V-Neck Sweater’s just-released EP Second Cycle (streaming below). The moniker of Jake J Brotter’s NYC-based solo recording project, V-Neck Sweater crafts dreamy bedroom synth-pop. His penchant for both hooks and atmosphere is on display throughout Second Cycle, generally recalling a sound reminiscent of The Radio Dept. and The Postal Service. A nocturnal synth pad and glistening guitars establish an engaging soundscape early on, eventually meshing with Brotter’s lush vocal melodies. {Link to listen in bio}

I always review mixes and take notes in different environments. Two days ago, that meant burning a CD here and listening upstairs in George Howards #RetroSound.#Soundcraft console #KRK Rokit6 monitors, #ducklamp
